Could boost the recruiting, morale for team going forward and a bowl win for BK right?

On the other hand; thoughts if we lost to Purdue?

It’s not a must win but damn would leave a nasty taste in the mouth to end the season. I mean it’s fricking Purdue.

Nothing like ending a surprisingly good season with 3 losses. WTF you think?

Reasons why you think it’s not a must win?

I think it’s very important to end the season with a win. Leaving on a positive note is always a good thing.

9-5 would be a helluva disappointment considering 10-2 seemed 100% recently

10-4 and avoiding a 3 game losing streak would be much better.

I agree. That’s old news now though.

Looking forward and hopefully that doesn’t happen again.

In this day and age every game is a must win in terms of advertising yourself for prospective portal transfers and recruiting. Top flight doesn't want to play for a mediocre program, even if they're on TV every weekend.

Nah…if you are not in the playoffs, it is nothing more than an exhibition game.

Yes, I believe a bowl win and a "10 win season" (after only 11 wins over 2 years with no bowl wins) to go along with the SEC West title and Bama's scalp are exactly the kind of benchmarks you want going into year 2 of a rebuild.

You can really sell recruits and their parents on that level of immediate progress.

You cannot lose to Purdue.

It's absolutely enormous for the QB too

Getting to 10 wins in year 1 is extremely important.

Not finishing the season by going from top 5 to loading to A&M by 2 TDs, Georgia by 3 TDs and losing to Purdue is also extremely important.

It's a must win.

It would be the equivalent of losing to Iowa just before Nick took the money and ran off to Miami.

That one still pisses me off.

I tend to agree. What concerns me is whether or not Kelly can get the team up emotionally. We all know that they will likely not be too excited about playing in the Citrus Bowl after being one win away from the playoffs 2 weeks ago. On the other hand, Purdue will be excited to play LSU. If we come out flat and go through the motions, we will lose and the fans could turn on Kelly with a quickness.
